Ruck and equipment rules require a weighted pack: if a participant weighs more than 150 pounds they carry 30 pounds, otherwise 20 pounds; rucksacks or vests are allowed. The event does not provide disposable cups so participants must use their own water-carrying system. Pacing is allowed only for the 100K on the second 50K loop.
Awards and series All distances receive a Big Texas Ultra finisher medal and long-sleeve garment; ruckers receive a ruck patch. The 100K finisher receives a silver belt buckle and championship prize money is awarded to top finishers. The race is part of the Texas Ultra Series, with combined finisher medals forming the Lone Star collectible and qualification pathways for the 100K Championship.
